The plans show a contemporary home with extensive glazing, decks and a mix of flatand skillion roofing.The application requires a Council determination as an assessment is required against the frontsetback, fencing in the front setback area, site works, overall height performance criteria of theResidential Design Codes of WA (R Codes) and an objection has been received during theconsultation period that cannot be resolved through a condition of planning approval.The proposal is considered to satisfy the front setback and building height performance criteriafor the following reasons:-• the deck in the front setback is a minor encroachment and its lightweight designcombined with the irregular curve shape of the front boundary results in no significantdetrimental impact on the streetscape;• the proposed height is consistent with the desired height of buildings in the locality anddue to the roof design (low pitch skillion with the highest point central to the site) theoverheight section has no significant impact on bulk or access to sun for the adjoiningproperties.The plans also show a combination of solid and open style front fencing, and site worksadjacent to the north-west side boundary. The solid fencing adjacent to the front boundary andfilling of land for two sections along the north-west side boundary are not supported for reasonsdiscussed in the report below.Accordingly, the proposal is recommended for approval subject to conditions relating to thefencing in the front setback area and site works adjacent to the north-west side boundary.BACKGROUND:Application: 505DA-2012Owner:Mr G and Mrs C CooperApplicant: Mr G CooperZoning: Residential R12.5Use class: Dwelling (single) ‘P’ – permittedLand area: 959 m²DETAILS:Development description• Currently located on the subject site is a single storey dwelling with a pool, double carportand a solid limestone wall along the front boundary in the front setback area.H:\CEO\GOV\COUNCIL MINUTES\13 MINUTES\FEBRUARY 2013\B DV.DOCX 45
